According to Transparency In­ternational’s data from 1979 till date, the tenures of both General Muhammadu Buhari and former President Olusegun Obasanjo were more corrupt than the tenure of President Goodluck Jonathan.
The data also showed that under the administration of President Jonathan, Nigeria has recorded its best score in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) since 1979. This is in complete contrast to the sordid picture of rampant corruption being painted by the opposition, ardent critics of the Jonathan administration and much of the media in the last few years – especially in the build up to the general elections.
But the point that the figures from Transparency International make so clearly is that, in com­parative terms, Nigeria is actually much less corrupt today, and per­ceived globally to be much less corrupt today, than it has been in the last 35 years – including under the regimes of General Buhari and President Obasanjo, both of who wear the toga and chant the man­tra of anti-corruption. Shockingly, according to the TI data, President Obasanjo’s first tenure had the worst scale of corruption during the 35 years period between 1979 and 2015.
The TI Corruption Perception Index is a rating of countries from 1 to 100 showing their corruption scale. A rating of 1 is the worst and rating of 100 means a country is completely free of corruption. The pass mark is 50 and any country scoring below 50 is considered a corrupt country.
In the year 2000, Nigeria was ranked the most corrupt country in the world – and improved mar­ginally in 2001 and 2003 when it was rated the second most corrupt nation in the world in the TI’s Cor­ruption Perception Index. This was certainly not under the watch of President Jonathan.
Since 2012, Nigeria has made steady improvements in the CPI. Indeed, under President Jonathan, for the first time in decades, Nige­ria is not in the list of 1-10 most corrupt countries in the world.
In the 2014 Transparency In­ternational’s Corruption Percep­tion Index, issued in December, Nigeria was ranked 136 out of 175 countries surveyed in the re­port. This ranking placed Nigeria, alongside five other countries, as the 39th most corrupt country in the world. This is Nigeria’s best ranking in the last four years.
With this ranking, Nigeria leap­frogged eight countries within a space of one year – from the 31st most corrupt nation in 2013 to the 39th in 2014. This may be regard­ed by cynics as a small achieve­ment: but it represents a big step in the right direction.
Indeed, the administration of President Jonathan deserves some commendation for the positive steps it has taken, and the modest achievements it has made so far, in the war against corruption – rather than the vengeful knocks it is re­ceiving from various quarters.

It is obvious you have problem with comprehension. Till this moment you still don't know the fine difference between stealing and corruption.

Only an illiterate will argue that black and white tv is not coloured tv.

Again, in the voice of President Dr GEJ "stealing is not corruption", and it is absolutely so.

If you think otherwise, prove it.

Main while, nigerians are anxiously waiting the much publicised "change".

6yrs of GEJ minus 1month and somedays of PMB and u want me to believe your fake and so called rate?

I find your attempt to obfuscate matters slightly amusing, stop being pedantic and admit your principal was wrong. Words are meant to convey ideas .A Nigerian would say upper week while an Englishman would say fortnight, both covey the same idea but one is British and one is Nigerian and in the same language. Every Nigerian knows that their politicians are corrupt because of their act of stealing from the Commonwealth treasury. In Nigeria stealing is corruption. We voted for Jonathan to lead the country not to teach the country pedantic superfluous English. He was transparently corrupt.

If you still can't tell the difference between the two...
If only you will not be sentimental, then you will learn something today.

By the way if you have seen the genuine "change" promised me us by APC please do inform us because the change we have seen so far is the northernalization of our political heritage.

How dare you accuse baba navigator and baba chanji of been thieves...

In relative terms yes. Holistically corruption was equally alarming in GEJ's regime and the media and the awakened political consciousness of Nigerians exacerbated it under GEJ.

Slaughter please what is your email address?

Slaughter please what is your email address? I want to contact you for something, it's urgent. Thanks.

Of course! It is self evident that GEJ's regime moved Nigeria forward in the corruption index, consolidating on the initiatives of President Yardua. Though not saint, the corruption that preceded his government was legendary...no contest at all. Having said that, its only natural to expect that PMB will lead the redemption his second coming desperately needs, at least for the sake of posterity. Our country must move forward at all cost and by all means. We are way behind!

Hello Slaughter, please can you kindly indicate that you've seen this message, so we can talk. I have been trying to reach you for weeks now. Thanks bro.
